Eww. Sometimes you have to get gross to make a point.
Sometimes you have to get gross to make a point. That's certainly the approach the San Antonio River Authority has taken to make residents aware that wipes advertised as"flushable" are anything but.over the weekend — SARA showed graphic and nasty evidence of the wipes pulled from wastewater treatment plants. Namely, photos of clumps of the soiled and discarded wipes.
"At the River Authority WWTP , wipes are causing significant issues, blocking pumps and screens designed to catch debris. This leads to sanitary sewer overflows , contaminating our homes, streets, and environment," the post warns. "Remember, items like disinfecting wipes, facial tissues and paper towels should also go in the trash, not down the toilet."
